— August 30, 2011 — Art & Design
Brian Kokoska is a Canadian-born, New York-based artist and illustrator with a penchant for creating art that is frightening, ghoulish, and strangely tribal. His work has captured the attention of the art establishment, leading his work to be featured in galleries around the world and many major art publications, including artUS, V, V MAN, and FFW Brazil.

Brian Kokoska is a graduate of the Art and Design program the prestigious Emily Carr University in Vancouver, and his technical training is evident in his illustrations of wacky monsters.

Do not be surprised if you see Brian Kokoska's artwork at a gallery near you, he has managed to carve an impressive niche for himself and the masses are clamoring for me.
